Domani: La WWE dalla semi-clandestinità a Netflix: l’eterno ritorno del wrestling in televisione

Dal 1° aprile in Italia si potrà assistere in diretta agli spettacoli settimanali, Raw e SmackDown, e agli eventi mensili che un tempo erano acquistabili in pay-per-view, oltre a godere dell'intero archivio storico. Una sottocultura importata dagli Usa che in Italia ha attecchito con forza fino a metà anni 2000, quando la vicenda di Chris Benoit cambiò tutto. Da allora i (tanti) fan di quel mondo di corpi esagerati, maschilismo ostentato e narrazioni binarie hanno vissuto in semi-clandestinità. Usare lo streaming per abbattere il pregiudizio del «è tutto finto»: la piattaforma può vincere la sua scommessa generalista?

From semi-stealth to Netflix: The eternal return of wrestling on television

Starting April 1st in Italy, it will be possible to watch live the weekly shows, Raw and SmackDown, and the monthly events that were once purchased on pay-per-view, as well as enjoy the entire historical archive. A subculture imported from the US that had taken root strongly in Italy until the mid-2000s, when the Chris Benoit affair changed everything. Since then, the (many) fans of that world of exaggerated bodies, ostentatious masculinity, and binary narratives have lived in a state of semi-clandestinity. Using streaming to dispel the prejudice of "it's all fake": can the platform win its generalist bet?

Vince McMahon's 'disturbing' theory on WWE star Chris Benoit murder-suicide tragedy

Should either WWE or AEW give David Benoit a chance as a wrestler? Or has the ship now sailed on that one?

This is probably the greatest moment in wrestling history that will be lost to time forever

It’s cool that #WWE is remembering #ChrisBenoit as a person who won the #RoyalRumble from number one. I suppose if you have to promote the hate-filled #Kane / #glennjacobs , it’s quite appropriate.

I hope today was a tryout. Don’t sign that sandbag #niajax is not signed.

We going over 4 hours because of a music performance from someone I’ve never heard until tonight.

There is no such thing as #countryrock. #Hardy just sold me on him being shit. #rednecks and #instagram shan’t be celebrated
